Shut Out (2016)
“I’m not sure why. He was angry. I didn’t mean to insult him or his sport. But he doesn’t get why I need to do this. Why I make my head hurt trying to understand physics. And chemistry. Why I have to work my ass off to keep up with my sister.
He thinks life should be easy. Well, it’s not.
Maybe for him everything is easy. He has loads of talent. One day he’ll be a superstar professional athlete making millions of dollars. It’s not fucking fair that physics is easy for him too. One guy shouldn’t get that much luck.
I stare blindly at my textbook. Dammit, I need to concentrate. I can’t let myself be distracted again this year. Last year it was Brendan. I can’t let Jacob destroy another school year.
A small voice inside reminds me that Jacob isn’t doing anything to destroy my school year; it’s me who’s in control of that. I have to be strong enough and disciplined enough not to be distracted by him.
I can do it.
I stay at the library until it closes at ten. Then I go home.
